CLAVE SONERA'S - RUMBA PARA VIENNA CD RELEASE
 "Another cross cultural meeting, led by the German pianist Gunther Bruck, who can bring a band together, that's for sure. Recorded mostly in Brooklyn, the album features some heavyweights from Venezuela, including the brothers Quintero, Luisito and Robert, along with Nelson Gonzalez on tres, and the Colombian bassist Juan Garcia-Herreros. The music's really flexible, dropping into timba breaks, then moving into salsa; it's made by masters, and you can tell. There's so much rhythmic ingenuity; and Bruck, quietly, behind the proceedings drops in some modern harmony on piano. This is all really fresh and new sounding; it's not quite a descarga, nor is it totally a dance project - though Bruck can throw down a tumbao - it's just great music, and a total surprise. Highly Recommended. "

"One of the most outsanding composer-pianists I've recently heard. His playing is not about Orient or Occident, it's about a higher spirit from above" 
Juan Garcia-Herreros has been selected as a Projekt X Change ambassador to represent Colombia and his integration as an artist in Austrian society. Projekt X Change focuses in bringing foreign and established public figures into Austrian classrooms to talk about their positive and negative experiences of integrating in a foreign country.
